Hi All,
I'm trying to add a cd drive with a mounted iso from the content library. I'm trying the following:
PS D:\Users\z8qno> $test = Get-ContentLibraryItem -Name "TinyCore-current.iso"
PS D:\Users\z8qno> $test
---------Command output------------
Name ContentLibrary ItemType SizeGB
---- -------------- -------- ------
TinyCore-current.iso ISOImages iso 0,016
PS D:\Users\z8qno> get-vm xxx | New-CDDrive -ContentLibraryIso $test -Verbose

According to release notes of powerchell 6.5.2 this should be possible?
But then, Im not 100% sure that i am on 6.5.2. I did an module-update -name vmware.powercli, but get-powercliversion tells me im still in 6.5.1, but get-module -name vmware.powercli tells me in on 6.5.2 - not very consistent.
Anyways, the option is there, so I think it's supposed to work?

Is anyone having the same issue, or knows how to do it the right way?
